Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical curative effect and complications of digital three-dimensional molding of titanium mesh for repairing skull defect. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients having underwent repairing skull defect with three-dimensional molding of titanium mesh were retrospectively analyzed. Results The average operation time was about 2 h, and 42 patients were operated successfully. The bilateral skull was symmetry and the appearance was good. In 42 patients, subcutaneous dropsy occurred in 1 case, epilepsy occurred in 3 cases, and intracranial bleeding again surgery occurred in 1 case. Patients were satisfied with the results of cranioplasty. Conclusions Repairing skull with digital three-dimensional molding of titanium mesh is simple, with shorter operation time, lower operation risk, and lower postoperative complication, and the clinical curative effect is satisfactory.
